I feel embarrassed that I wasn't aware of this law until now. It's an incredible over-reach by the US to demand data stored in another country just because it is controlled by a US company.
On an entirely economic level, it will hurt US companies that want to sell their services in other countries.
Second, it impinges on sovereignty, similar to forced extradition.
But perhaps most concerning, it gives other countries a reason to demand the same from the US. Now, Russia or the United Arab Emirates could arguably demand your entire facebook profile because you vacationed their for a week. They will just say that the US is doing the same to their people.
